Girl’s Generation’s YoonA spotted being beautiful for the umpteenth time

To absolutely no one’s surprise, Girl‘s Generation YooNa was caught in the act of being beautiful again.

This time, her beauty awed fans and netizens with her chic airport fashion, dolled up with a pair of square glasses and a knit pink beanie – that is making this article very hard to write for this author since his eyes keep traveling back to the picture!

Anyways, the photos were taken during the girl group’s departure from Korea for their Japanese arena tour concert.

By this point, it’s probably easier to start writing articles about the times when YoonA is not beautiful … but we’re not sure we can find anything to write about. \O/

Dance version music video released for TEEN TOP’s “Miss Right”

After falling for female comedian Shin Bora in their original music video for “Miss Right“, TEEN TOP has decided to cut out the chase as they’ve now revealed a dance-only version!

Sunhwa confessed that .......

Sunhwa confessed that she once thought about seeing a psychologist as she had a tough time initially coping with becoming a celebrity and losing the freedom she once had.
On the February 26 installment of ‘MoonLight Prince‘, she and Changmin studied the poem collection ‘I’m Red‘. They came across a poem titled “Studying Machine“, which read, “The alarm clock is ringing/ The studying machine that is in the 2nd year of high school turns on/ The studying machine that came back home late at night checks over the machine that was on the entire day/ It sputters as it turns off as if it is broken“.
At the end of the poem, Changmin asked Sunhwa, “Did you ever feel like you were living like a machine?“.
She replied honestly, “I think I felt that way while I was doing this work. You have to work starting from the morning, and then you end early the next day. And then you go get make up done, and this keeps repeating, so I feel like, what is this? You have something like that. It’s actually something very thankful when you look back on it. Even though it’s something I want to do, I get chased by time and I think, ‘Am I a machine?’.”
Changmin knew exactly how she felt, and he agreed by saying, “You feel like you’re not even there,” to which Sunhwa replied, “Yes, that’s it. I wanted to even go see a psychologist at one point. In the beginning, because I was so lonely. When you are in society, there are things you have to do. You have to smile when you don’t want to, and you have to greet people that you don’t like with a smile. I think it’s like this. It was time for me to become an adult, but I didn’t want to become one. I just wanted to be a student like before, and hang out with my friends. I didn’t want to think like an adult, but I had to be one. But as I worked and met a lot of people, I think I became more mature about it naturally.”

What does A pink's Na Eun want to do now that she's 20 years old ?

What does A Pink's Na-Eun want to do now that she’s 20 years old (International age: 19)? The idol star shared her thoughts about marriage and officially becoming an adult in the March issue of @star1.

Na-Eun is currently starring in JTBC‘s ‘Childless Comfort‘ as a high school student who her boyfriend wants to marry right away. When asked what she would do if this happened to her instead of her character, Na-Eun answered, “Since I turned 20, marriage seems like something really close in the future. I have thought about marriage these days. The conclusion is that you must be careful about marriage.”

She continued to share, “I should be older, and because it’s a partner I’m going to spend the rest of life with, I want someone who I can trust and who my parents like. So if my boyfriend asked me to marry him right away, I think it’d be necessary for me to wait and see instead.”

Na-Eun also revealed, “I thought a lot of things would change when I turned 20, but nothing has really changed. The first number of my age became a 2, but other than that my heart is still 19 years old.” She added, “Now that I’m 20, I want to get my driver’s license and experience college campus life.”

In other news, A Pink’s Eunji, Na-Eun, and Chorong were chosen as endorsement models for Hazzys Accesories‘ 2013 S/S season. Their bright and fresh pictorial is featured in the March issue of @star1.

독특한 향과 씹는 맛이 일품인 산채의 왕, 두릅

경기도 가평은 ‘산채의 왕’이라 불리는 두릅의 고장이다. 독특한 향기와 아삭아삭 씹히는 맛이
일품일 뿐만 아니라, 약성도 뛰어나 인삼의 사촌으로 통하는데 머무름은 짧지만 그 맛과 향은 진한
두릅을 찾아 가평 덕현리로 떠나보자.


독특한 향과 씹는 맛이 일품인 산채의 왕, 두릅



강줄기를 안고 산으로 둘러 쌓인 가평, 매년 이맘때쯤이면 가평의 넓은 들판을
두릅이 가득 채우는데 식감과 향, 그리고 약성까지 뛰어나서 산채의 제왕이라고 불린다.



두릅은 1월 초순부터 4월 초순까지 출하된다.



물과 온도를 알맞게 맞춰 재배한 산두릅은 연하고 부드러우면서도 토실토실하다.



귀한 나물로 알려진 두릅은 당뇨 등의 탁월한 효과가 있는 약재다.
두릅나물을 수 시간 달여서 차로 마시면 천연 피로회복제 역할을 하는데
위를 튼튼히 할 뿐만 아니라 신장병에도 도움을 준다.

귀한 두릅 맛을 보러 가보자.



먼저 기력이 없을 때 찬물에 밥을 말아서 척척 얹어먹으면 그만인 두릅 장아찌다.



두릅은 나무로 된 밑동만 잘라낸 뒤 칼이 아닌 손으로 나머지 부분을 손질해준다.



아삭한 식감을 살리기 위해서 데치는 법도 남다르다.
전체를 삶으면 윗부분은 물러지고 밑은 익지 않기 때문에 밑 부분을 먼저
좀 익힌 후 전체를 삶아준다. 이렇게 해야 색도 살고 맛도 제대로 느낄 수 있다.



두릅 맛을 그대로 느끼기에는 오징어 숙회가 제격이다.



살짝 데친 두릅은 소고기와 한 줄씩 번갈아 끼워서 산적을 만들어 먹으면 맛이
잘 어울릴 뿐 아니라 서로 부족한 영양분을 보완해서 그야말로 웰빙식이 된다.



두릅 두루치기를 할 때 두릅은 맨 마지막에 넣고 어르듯이 달래서 볶아야 제대로 된 맛이 난다.



두릅밥은 콩나물밥을 만드는 법과는 같은 듯 하지만 조금 다르다.
콩나물밥을 짓듯 밥과 두릅을 함께 넣어 짓지 않고 뜸을 들일 때 넣어야 하는 것이 포인트다.
그래야 파릇한 두릅의 빛깔이 살아있으면서 뭉그러져 죽처럼 되지 않는다.

머무름은 짧지만 그 맛과 향은 진한 두릅을 즐겨보자.

Hyuna becomes the korean artist to grace the cover of England's 'Pop ' Magazine

4Minute HyunA became the first Korean artist to grace the cover of ‘POP‘!

‘POP’ is a famous fashion magazine in England that the whole world watches for its trendy fashion and art. HyunA became its cover girl for the 28th issue, putting her right up there with other icons like Madonna, Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham, and Jennifer Lopez.

Editor Ashley Heath said, “HyunA became an icon of K-pop for Westerners through “Gangnam Style“. On YouTube, a few clicks turned into millions and tens of millions because of HyunA’s unique charm. HyunA is stylish, and can be called the prime example of our generation’s liveliness.”

It’s a little disappointing that HyunA isn’t getting known for her own songs, but rather for her rendition of Psy’s song (as you can see by the #OPPAJUSTMYSTYLE on the cover). Nonetheless it’s nice to see her getting recognized for her own style as well.

Check out another photo of her from the magazine below!

Former member of A’st1, Sung In Kyu, passed away at the young age of 24 on February 22. He has been battling thymus cancer since 2011.

The news of his passing spread when fellow member, Park Jung Jin tweeted, “My dongseng member who performed with me as A’st1…In Kyu went to heaven today… It must have been hard while getting chemotherapy, but In Kyu always answered the phone with a bright voice…I hope that he can rest comfortably in heaven… February 22… Asan Hospital Funeral Home.”

Through his blog, Sung In Kyu told fans about his cancer back in 2009. “Right now, it’s hard to sing due to the lack of breath, but I won’t give up my dreams. I’ll show you. I’ll get all of my treatments and return with good news,” wrote Sung In Kyu in one entry. “See you soon on the stage. I love you.”

We send our condolences to the family and friends of Sung In Kyu
